RETIREMENT

Bishop Townshend has accepted the request of the Reverend Canon Gerry Adam to retire as the Director of Camp Huron, effective 20 November 2026. This summer will be Gerry’s 35th at the Camp! In 1991, she started as the arts and crafts programmer and subsequently served as chaplain and as assistant director before being appointed as the director of Huron Church Camp (as it was then known) by Archbishop Percy O’Driscoll in 1997. She was the first woman and first layperson to hold that role.

 

While serving at the camp, Gerry discerned a call to ordained ministry and was ordained to the diaconate by Bishop Bob Bennett on 24 January 2004. She was the deacon at St. Michael and All Angels, London, before moving to St. James Westminster in 2011. Gerry was named a Canon of the Cathedral Church of St. Paul at the 173rd Synod of the Diocese of Huron in May 2015. 

 

We thank Canon Gerry for her many years of faithful ministry at the Camp and wish her well in her retirement from Camp Huron. She will continue to hold the licence of the Bishop as deacon at St. James Westminster.
